Problems of Psychology





3. Dreams which are Recollections of true Activity.
These dreams are registrations of true activities. They are not simply witnessed,
registered and related by the subject. As soon as a person has reached
A state of real integration of the astral body and the vital or etheric body, plus the
physical body, then these three aspects function harmoniously.
A capacity to pursue ordered activity at night or in the hours of sleep. Then the man
can impress the physical brain with a knowledge of those activities [503] and on returning
to waking consciousness put it to actual use by the physical body.

The man's dreams will then be, in reality, nothing more nor less than the relation of
the continuance of the day's activities, as they have been carried forward on the astral
plane. They will be simply the record, registered on the physical brain, of his doings and
emotions, his purposes and intentions, and his recognized experiences. They are as real
and as true as any of those which have been recorded by the brain, during waking hours.
They are, nevertheless, only partial records in the majority of cases, and mixed in
nature, for the glamors, illusions and the perceptions of the doings of others (as
recorded in the second category of dreams above) will still have some effect. This
condition of mixed recording, of erroneous identifications, etc., leads to much
difficulty. The psychologist has to make allowance for:
The age or soul experience of the patient. He has to determine whether the related dream
is an illusory participation, a perceived or registered activity, or a real and true
happening in the experience of the man during the hours of sleep.
The ability of the subject to bring through correctly the related experience. This
ability is dependent upon the pre-establishing of continuity of consciousness, so that at
the moment of return, the brain of the man concerned is easily impressed by the experience
of the true man when out of the body.
The freedom of the patient from the desire to make an impression upon the psychologist,
his innate truthfulness, his control of the imagination, and his power of verbal
expression. [504]

Where advanced aspirants and disciples are concerned, we have a somewhat different
situation. The demonstrated integration has involved the mind nature and is involving the
soul likewise. The activity, registered, recorded and related, is that of a server upon
the astral plane. The activities which interest a world server are, therefore, quite
different in nature to those earlier experienced and related. They will be concerned with
deeds which are related to other people, to the fulfilment of duties involving other
people, to the teaching of groups rather than individuals, etc. These differences, when
carefully studied, will be recognized by the psychologist of the future (who will
necessarily be also an esotericists) as most revealing because they will indicate in an
interesting manner, the spiritual status and hierarchical relationship of the patient.
